i know its a (954) area code cause i did notice that when i got the phone that it has a number in there but i did not write it down, and after i activted it the number was gone, also the phone looks wiped clean no contacts or anything just whats in the media card, and there is no name or anything on it? please help?

The previous owner or seller could've forgotten to wipe the media card. It doesnt sound like it stolen since you said it activated just fine. You could contact the seller and ask for a little more info on the history.

The 9530 is a CDMA phone right, if it is activated on the original carrier then I would assume or at least hope the device would have been reported lost/stolen by the original ownerif it was in fact lost/stolen, in which case your activation would have failed as the ESN and PIN would have been locked out. I say take the phone and the card to your local service provider corp store, have them search their databases for the previous owner and give them the card at least. They will not be permitted to provide you any information about the previous owner for privacy concerns but if they are reputable they will get the card back to the owner.

I once found an iphone and gave it back.. Too bad for me when my 9700 was stolen I wasn't lucky enuff to get it back! 2. Weeks later I won the Torch in the CrackBerry contest. Karma is a "female dog"! Bet that~
